An Ode on Sai Geetha by Mr. David Gersten
During Krishna Janmastami in 1989
And once Sai Geetha arrived, Swami wanted none else for His procession. Even when she was a little baby she was the one who always led the procession in Prasanthi Nilayam. She was marching, as early as in 1964! The pundits during Dasara celebrations that year walked behind the ‘little champion’. And from then on, she became the permanent fixture of all major celebrations in the divine presence. The very sight of her, be it during Birthday or Shivarathri or Krishnastami or the Sportsmeet, would gladden the hearts of devotees. Faces would light up, smiles bloom instantaneously and some would even burst into a song. This is what came out of the heart of Mr. David Gersten during Krishna Janmastami in 1989.
Geetha is Decked Out
Geetha is decked out
A golden broach adorns her head,
yes it does
Her toenails are painted bright yellow
And bangles are on all her legs
She’s set for the party,
a great Puttaparthi
She’s here as Krishna Sai’s guest
Millions of people come see her
each year
And all of them fail the test
Her heart is filled with a greater love
Than most of us can ever claim
Her love has no words
Her love has no questions
Her love has no borders,
desires or chains
Geetha is holding
A flute that she twirls in her trunk, yes she is
She sways to the songs in the air
We smile until we get drunk
When she reaches Baba, Oh Krishna Sai Baba
She falls on her knees to the ground
And the love begins thundering out of her heart
It’s the loudest silence around
Her heart is filled with a greater love
Than most of us can ever claim
Her love has no words
Her love has no questions
Her love has no borders, desires or chains
